Allen transferred from the Boston Celtics to the Miami Heat in pursuit of another NBA Championship. He is still on the right track in attaining his dream after his game-tying three point shot on Tuesday night.

Allen's big three with 5.2 seconds in regulation tied the Heat vs Spurs sixth game at 95-all.

That shot from behind the arc could end up as Allen's most important shot of his entire career in the NBA.

Chris Bosh collared the rebound after a LeBron James' missed three, and immediately passed the ball to Allen who made a step back and a quick release of the ball.

See the amazing three-point shot of Ray Allen in the following NBA YouTube video.
